Rose gold-tone from the clasp to the bezel, with a mother-of-pearl dial and small set stones where the hour markers would normally be. The case is thin, the bracelet is fine-linked, and the whole watch is built to be worn as jewellery rather than read as an instrument. Case and Wrist Presence The case measures 32mm and is genuinely slim – the bezel is a hairline ring and the profile barely lifts off the wrist. At this thinness the watch goes under any sleeve, including a fitted one, which a chunkier case will not. Everything is finished in rose gold-tone, and the crown is small enough to sit flush against the side. Dial and Legibility Mother-of-pearl cut from real shell, so the pattern differs on every watch and the surface moves between white, cream and pale grey as your wrist turns. Instead of printed markers there are twelve small set stones around the dial, each catching light independently. The eagle sits above the centre and the wordmark below it, both in rose gold-tone. There are no numerals at all – you read this dial by the position of the two fine hands, which is quick once your eye learns it and slower before that. Movement and Functions Quartz, driving hours and minutes. No date, no seconds hand, nothing to reset. A clean dial is the whole point of a watch built around shell and set stones, and adding a date window would have cut a hole in it. Bracelet and Fit A fine-linked rose gold-tone steel bracelet with narrow rows that drape rather than hinge, so it follows the wrist closely instead of bridging it. Small links also mean fit can be adjusted in small steps, which matters more on a light watch – too loose and it turns face down on the wrist. Have links removed at a jeweller rather than living with it slack. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants one piece that works as a watch and as a bracelet. It stacks well with rose gold bangles and rings, and the set stones give it enough sparkle for an evening without tipping into costume. Care and Maintenance Rose gold-tone plating wears through first at the clasp and along the bracelet edges where it rubs a desk. Clean with a dry cloth and a soft brush, never with polish or an ultrasonic cleaner – set stones and a shell dial both dislike vibration. Take the watch off before applying hand cream. About the Brand Emporio Armani puts the parent house’s restraint into its jewellery watches too: the materials do the talking, the dial stays uncluttered, and the eagle is the only branding on it.
